X8R Ltd is a British company completely dedicated to providing high quality improved design vehicle components; correcting original manufacturers design faults. We take the common faults associated with a variety of vehicle manufacturer’s parts and re-design and manufacture parts that will not fail again or that will prevent damage to vehicles.

SYMPTOMS OF FAULT

If the runner flaps are operating correctly there will likely be no symptoms of a fault. The benefits will only be realised when the runners are removed; improving airflow. If the runners are faulty or carbon build ups have formed this can affect vehicle performance..

THE FAULT

The runner flaps within the inlet manifold limit airflow and performance.

The factory fitted inlet manifolds on EA113 engines have runner flaps fitted within. Much like throttle body flaps these open and close to adjust airflow. These ultimately restrict airflow, even when fully open airflow is restricted. This becomes an issue the more the vehicle is tuned. Carbon can also build up on these moving parts providing more restriction and can in some cases cause failure of the moving parts within the manifold.

THE SOLUTION

Remove the runner flaps using our kit to improve airflow in the inlet manifold.
